BAYONET KNOT The working end of the rope is wrapped around a tree or relief ledge. Bring it over the root end, go around the root end and thread it into the resulting loop (Fig. 8). The working end is again carried over the main one, goes around the main one and is threaded into the second

BACHMAN KNOT Although the Bachmann knot was described earlier, it belongs to carabiner knots and it was decided to repeat its description in this book. The long side of the carabiner is applied to the main rope. The cord is fastened into a carabiner, folded in half and wrapped 2-3 times

UIAA KNOT The knot is used in situations where it is necessary to etch the rope in two directions. The knot is used for dynamic belaying, preferably on soft ropes. Sometimes it is used as a braking device when descending vertical railings, but in this case

KNOT “ON A SPOON”* The knot is used by the authors exclusively for hanging a pot of boiling water in the aisle of a reserved seat compartment of long-distance trains. A double-folded rope is threaded through the handle of the pot and straightened. The middle is pulled through this loop.

Slip Reef Knot This type of knot works exactly the same as a simple Reef Knot, but by making a half-bow with one end (look at your shoelaces), it doubles in size. The advantage of this node manifests itself when it

Spinning knot This knot is often used incorrectly. There must always be equal (or at least almost equal) loads on both sides in weight, otherwise the ends will begin to unwind and the knot will eventually come undone. For this reason, a tapping unit is not needed

Towing knot This knot, also called the Nameless knot, is extremely useful when towing, since it can be undone even under great pressure from the load. To tie this knot, make a Double Wrap around the load half mast (1), then

Double Clew and Double Sling Knot Double Clew Knot For added safety, the Clew and Sling Knots (see previous page) can be quickly converted into double knots. This is done like this: you wrap the working end of the rope around

Surgeon's Knot This knot can be described as a Reef Knot for slipping, elastic synthetic ropes because they serve the same purpose, but the Surgeon's Knot is safer to use. modern materials. There are two of it

Fisherman's knot-2 This modification of a simple Fisherman's knot is especially suitable when using sliding synthetics. The first double turn is done in the same way as in a simple one Fisherman's Knot: The working end passes under it. Next, the working end is wrapped several times around

Crossbar Knot This is something of a hybrid between the Punch Knot and the Constrictor Knot. It holds better than the Punch Knot in cases where there is a larger load on one side than the other, and it unties more easily than the Shrink Knot. To

Stopper knot This knot can only be called a knot with a stretch, and in this case we can rather talk about a coupling than a binding. The locking knot is used for the most part when it is necessary to reduce the load on one cable by adding a second one. The turn is made

Top knot The top knot can be used to attach shrouds to masts or to erect a temporary flagpole, as well as for many other simple operations. Three loops are made and placed next to each other so that the bottom left part of the outermost loop

Hunter's Knot Typically used to tie two ropes together, the Hunter's Knot is great for both tight, non-elastic ropes and softer, slippery synthetic ropes. This is a rectangular knot that is made as follows: two ropes

Knot “Bull-gorden” More reliable than the Half-Knot, the Bull-gorden allows you not to be afraid that the cable may unwind. Wind the cable as usual, but leave the end long. Wrap this end around the top of the skein, going from bottom to top. Then insert the end into

Cable-stayed unit The cable-stayed unit (Fig. 107) is a unit of the same type as the previous ones. It is very suitable for temporary fastening of shrouds when installing sail rigs on rowing boats. The knot holds perfectly under tension, but comes undone instantly

The name of the knot comes from the word “sheet” - a special tackle that allows you to control the sail by stretching it by the lower corners. In the sailing fleet, the clew began to be used when the latest progressive sail systems appeared. The knot is needed to firmly fix the sheet in the wing of the sail.

Application of a node

This is practical due to the simplicity of its implementation; moreover, with strong tension, the knot does not damage the cable. However, you need to remember its main feature: it is effective only in cases where there is tension on the rope that is attached to the sheet. In another situation, the clew will simply come undone.

This knot is similar in appearance to the knot, but they differ in the way they are weaved. This type of knot is perfect for securing a ship's cable to a strong, already tied loop. It cannot be used for cables made of synthetic materials, since the running end in this case will simply slide off.

In addition, the clew knot is very often used on sailing ships. Its peculiarity lies in its narrow specialization, so the unit is used only for its intended purpose. Otherwise, most often such fastening is replaced with a bayonet or straight knot.

How to tie a clew knot

This knot must be knitted to a ready-made loop of rope or cable, as well as a chain, carabiner or metal ring.

1. The first step is to take a rope with one free end.
2. The working end of the rope is threaded through the starting loop from back to front.
3. Next, the working end of the rope is wrapped around the base once.
4. Finally, the end of the rope is passed between the inside of the finished loop and the main loop.

The clew assembly diagram presented below will help you understand and perform such fastening without any problems.

Peculiarities

The clew knot is one of the oldest used by man. Archaeologists found part of a fishing net made using clew knots; it was dated to 7 thousand years BC. e.

And although most often in fishing this knot is used to fasten two ropes of different thicknesses, it holds perfectly well on identical ropes. It could also be an excellent alternative to a straight knot, if not for the fact that it is not a connecting knot. After all, the knot must be tied with the free ends, and there should be no weights on the ropes.

Varieties

The only alternative to the clew knot could be a double clew knot, which is more durable and is also easy to tie and untie.

It is used when safety becomes the main condition, for example, when tying thick and thin ropes, towing, and also in cases where the rope is very large and hard, and only a straight loop can be made from it. Knit it in the following sequence:

• fold an open loop of a thick cable;
• further, perform the same maneuvers as when tying a clew knot;
• after this, a thinner rope is looped a second time behind the thick loop and again passed under itself next to the original passage;
• Finally, you need to align the knot; to do this, you just need to pull the thin rope and pull it off, holding the loop of the thicker cable; the small rope should compress itself; both turns are leveled by pulling the running end of the rope.

How to knit a net with a clew knot

The most famous weaving method is the pearl net. It is easy to implement, since only light nodes are used. In this case, the size of the cells will depend on the width of the shelf used.

Net weaving:

It is simple to perform and easy to untie, but it lives up to its name - it holds the sheet tightly, while being tightly tightened, without damaging the cable.

– a double clew uses a second turn around a thick rope. This is recommended when there is a large difference in the diameters of the two ropes.

Features of the Shet Bend

IN maritime affairs It is used more often only for tying two ends of different thicknesses, but the knot holds well on identical ropes. A clew knot could replace a straight one, if not for the strange fact that it is not a connecting knot, it must be tied with the free ends, and there should be no load on the ropes (A straight knot, with all its errors, can tie a sail, tie a parcel, and it holds well while the second part of the half-bayonet is tied).

Clew knot- one of the oldest of the nodes known to the world. A fragment of a fishing net found by archaeologists, knitted with clew knots, was dated to 7000 BC.

Tie a clew knot:

1. Make a loop on the thicker rope (blue) and hold it in one hand.
2. Thread the thinner rope (red) through the loop, through the end of the blue rope and through the main end.
3. Now pass the thin rope under the loop to complete the knot.

Double clew: When the ropes differ noticeably in diameter, the end of a thin rope can be tied twice around a loop of a large rope to form a double clew knot (picture on the right).

Bayonet clew: this is a very similar node. However, it is still a “bayonet”: it does not connect two ropes, but attaches the rope to the sling. In the picture above, the blue rope acts as a lanyard, and the red rope is attached to it with a clew.

Structure: When the clew knot is properly tied, the ends of the ropes lie on the same side as the knot. An alternative version, when the ends of the ropes lie on opposite sides, is less reliable.

Invented by sailors in the sailing fleet. Much time has passed since then, but sea knots continue to be used in many areas of life. After all, these are the strongest and most reliable rope connections.

It’s not just sailors who study maritime knots. They are often used by tourists, fishermen, mountaineers and rock climbers. Sometimes a person’s life and health depend on the ability to quickly and correctly tie a knot on a rope. You need to approach learning very seriously, you need to hone your skills to the point of complete automation, then at the right moment, no matter how extreme it turns out to be, the knot will be tied quickly, skillfully and reliably.

How to learn to tie knots correctly?

There are two ways to learn how to tie sea knots: algorithmic and visual. During the first method, the student memorizes the sequence and step-by-step movement of the rope. This usually happens in classes with a teacher in maritime institutions or tourism sections. The teacher shows the tying sequence, and the student repeats after him.

The second method is based on performing and memorizing tying methods using diagrams, pictures, and training stands. The student sees end result and tries to make his node look the same as in the diagram.

Reliable and strong

In the sailing fleet, one of the most reliable and strong knots is considered to be the topsheet knot (otherwise known as topsheet). It is named after the top sheet gear, which is used to stretch the corners of the lower part of the straight sail when installing the top sails. It is also called double clew. Just not that reliable. They tie only single sheets of sails from below, and the top sheet knot has a much wider application. This includes tying top sheets, boom sheets, top halyards, boom top halyards, top rope halyards.

The reliability of the knot lies in the technique of tying it. The loop or krengel is wrapped around the running end of the rope not once, but passed under the root end twice. This type of knot holds cables of the same and different thicknesses equally well. They can be used to tie natural and synthetic ropes, thin and thick. Because of its convenience and reliability, it is widely used in mountaineering, because if there is no tension in the cable, it does not immediately untie, and this is important for safety at high altitudes.

Step by step instructions

It is not difficult to learn how to knit a clew knot; you just need to carefully follow the instructions. First of all, when learning, take ropes of different colors, this will make it easier to distinguish the running end from the main one. The first rope is rolled up in the shape of a drop. The running end is held in the other hand, directing it into the resulting loop.

Next, they knit a brass knot according to the pattern, threading the running end into the middle of the loop, go around the main rope, and wrap it downwards. Another loop has formed at the top, into which you need to insert the end of the dark rope, working in the direction of the indicated arrow.

If you pull the ropes at this moment, you will get a clew knot, but we need a double and stronger clew knot. How to tie it is shown in the following instructional photo. In the direction of the arrow, you need to thread the running end into the loop again.

Only after this process is it necessary to tighten the ends tightly. The resulting knot is a clew knot. It is also called double clew. For greater safety, especially in mountaineering and rock climbing, you also need to tie safety knots.

When tying a rope from a tent to a peg or tree, they don’t really think about reliability, since there is no threat to life, but an athlete hanging over an abyss at a great height thinks about the safety of his life first of all. The knot should not creep under variable loads, untie spontaneously, or tighten tightly. Also important point is speed and ease of use, and here the top-sheet assembly shows itself in the best possible way.

The need for safety net

Any use of knots on a rope reduces its strength. Tight tensile tension under force, bending of fibers when twisting the knot reduces the reliability of the structure. Climbers often climb mountains covered in snow and ice, and wet and frozen rope experiences the effects of ice crystals on the fibers.

Other factors also influence the quality of ropes. natural factors. Rope dried in bright sun or soaked in dirt reduces the strength of knots by 30%. If wet in the rain, it loses up to 10% of its strength. So, even if you know well how to knit a headsheet knot correctly and quickly, it is better to play it safe and add additional protection, especially if your rope has been tested for strength many times.

Learn to tie knots carefully, and your life will be completely safe!
